"Home" and "Get Hard" Perform Well at Box Office

DreamWorks' animated film "Home" easily took first place at the domestic box office by grossing $54 million, marking the best opening for a DreamWorks Animation film since "Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted" ($60 million) in 2012.

"Home" added another $48 million from overseas for a worldwide debut of $102 million. The new movie cost $135 million to make, which means that it's now considered a hit. Unfortunately, "Home" has an unimpressive 47% fresh rating on RottenTomatoes.

The other new wide release of the weekend was the comedy "Get Hard," starring Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart. It took second place with $34.6 million. A great result for a movie that cost $40 million. "Get Hard" has a 31% fresh rating.

Meanwhile, "It Follows" horror film expanded to 1,218 location to take fifth place at the box office with $4 million. The new movie has now earned a total of $4.8 million and will likely get an even wider release next weekend. "It Follows" has an amazing 95% fresh rating.
